My father used to work for Dunlop.He was head of a department that developed mission critical electrical componants for aircraft, The used totally static proof enviroments.No one went near any of the chips ungrounded.These steps were taken to save lives but why take the risk with componants that cost us a lot of cash

ive seen this done a lot of times.Lets face it chances are most of us have grounded ourselves and discharged build up when unplugging the power (lets hope everyone does this one)
